What Is Healthcare Employee Scheduling?

Healthcare employee scheduling software manages the schedules of hourly employees at medical facilities including hospitals, clinics, private practice, front office staff, lab technicians, and nurses. The scheduling software can help automate schedules, record vacations and sick leave, track overtime and generate timesheets for compensation. Popular healthcare employee scheduling solutions offer flexibility and personalization, which are known to empower healthcare providers and improve performance. As healthcare is by nature around the clock, healthcare workers have unique scheduling requirements such as long shifts and overlapping shifts. The complexities of shift management can be more easily managed with digital employee management solutions that keep managers aware of the needs of the team, including last minute changes to schedules.
